Campania International Chenes Brut Long Box Planter

Because this planter is extremely heavy, it requires a solid, level surface like a concrete patio, stone paver area, or a reinforced deck. We recommend placing it exactly where you want it before filling it with soil, as moving it once planted will be nearly impossible.

Yes, it is suitable for indoor use. However, because it features pre-installed drainage holes, you will need to place a large, waterproof saucer or tray underneath to protect your floors from water runoff.

Cast stone is a porous material that reacts to the elements. Over time, it will develop a natural patina, which may include subtle color shifts or the growth of moss and lichen, depending on your climate. This weathering process is considered a desirable feature that adds character to the piece.

While cast stone is durable, it is porous and can absorb moisture. To prevent cracking during freeze-thaw cycles, ensure the drainage holes remain clear so water doesn't pool inside. If you live in an area with severe winters, it is best practice to cover the planter or move it to a protected area.

Due to its significant depth, you don't need to fill the entire volume with potting mix, which would make it prohibitively heavy and expensive. You can use lightweight fillers like inverted plastic nursery pots or specialized drainage inserts at the bottom to reduce the amount of soil needed and improve drainage.
